Nicolas Belfrage: Col code 2. Apple and pear fruit, but not as precise as in case of 2009s. Minerally, clean, fresh, and correct, but unexciting. 15.5

Michael Edwards: Mature evolved fruit. Interesting extracted flavors but a certain flatness and lack of brio. 14.5

Franco Ziliani: Intense, brilliant, very charming color. The nose displays all the complexity and elegance of a good Soave Classico that begins to develop character with time in the bottle: dried mountain herbs and flowers, citrus, almond, volcanic mineral notes, salt with good length and depth, great balance. The palate has intense, just-ripe fruit, perfect acidity, salty mineral notes that gives vertical character and freshness to the wine. Still very young, with good ageing potential. 17
